Book Submissions

Mythical Legends Submission Guidelines

For Manuscripts, Illustrators, Artists, and Designers

We are looking for well thought out fiction with plot and character development. By the time you send your manuscript to us the story should have been fully vetted. We can not help you develop your story. We trust you, as the author, to have written something awesome – or at least something you love. All genres will be considered.

3. All authors/illustrators/artists/designers offered a contract are required to have a blog (through Goodreads or otherwise) or other Social Media access (Twitter, Facebook, etc.). They are expected to help promote their book(s). Click here for a sample contract.
